This was a geological fault filled with underground magma. Su Yu had used Earth Escape Skill to follow the changes in Spiritual Energy along the ley lines. He had submerged himself two thousand feet deep before he found this place.
Glancing around, this underground fault seemed like a newly born subterranean world with no end in sight.
Gloomy and dark.
Only the Spirit Plants below emitted a vague green light from their leaves.
But after a moment, the puppet avatar’s eyes slightly changed. It dropped into the dense forest below, all its energy concealed. The next instant, various auras searched the forest.
“Spirit Beasts? Or the Demon Clan?” He sensed strange auras hidden beneath this subterranean magma fault.
He didn’t know if they were Spirit Beasts or the Demon Clan, but several of the auras put immense pressure on him.
After biding his time for a while, the avatar, disguised as an eight-armed mantis Spirit Beast, rushed straight towards the area blanketed with powerful Formations.
Not long after the avatar had left.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Various silhouettes appeared near the forest. A giant rat Spirit Beast, its body flickering with electric light, coldly looked around and said in a deep voice, “Old Snake Turtle, Black Tiger, Black Mountain Bull, didn’t an outsider beast just break in?”
Nearby, the plants rustled. Under a towering canopy, a huge shadow appeared, causing the ground to shake.
Then.
A gigantic Spirit Beast, almost ten feet long, slowly emerged. With a snake head and snake tail, but a turtle’s body, this was an ancient Spirit Beast — the Snake-headed Turtle. It was a native creature of this world.
Rumors had it that they were the offspring of ancient snakes and turtles. Whether it was true or not, the other Spirit Beasts didn’t really believe it. They thought of it as Old Snake Turtle boasting about its origins; the Ancient Era was too far away from them.
Elsewhere, a large black tiger Spirit Beast appeared, its body covered with black and white patterns, and a pair of white tiger eyes.
Looking into those eyes, one could faintly feel a strange Soul Power. Meeting its gaze was intimidating.
This was ‘Black Tiger’, a White-eyed Soul Tiger, an old Spirit Beast that also had Ancient Era bloodline.
The last to appear was a stout and majestic Black Bull. Its neck was covered with thick hair, with horns as sharp as Divine Weapons. Its aura was the most formidable among the Spirit Beasts.
The Black Bull glanced at the rat beast, which should have been a low-level creature like a rock rat.
However, for some unknown reason, its bloodline had undergone a transformation and developed thunderous power.
Having been here for over a hundred years, it had bred generations of offspring. A small portion had inherited the rat beast’s thunderous bloodline, but the majority didn’t – they were driven away.
The rat beast was the only outsider among them, the weakest and the most shameless, conniving one.
It called itself ‘Sky Thunder Rat’. They had tried to drive the Sky Thunder Rat away in the past, but it was too good at running, so they let it stay.
The four of them were the Demon Kings of this underground magma fault world, and had each claimed a part of this land.
The Black Mountain Bull, whose skin was as smooth as silk and was exceptionally majestic, said in a low, mellow voice, “That beast is strange. It looks like an eight-armed mantis Spirit Beast, but it’s smaller. However, its strength is not weak as it has reached the lower level of the third rank.”
The largest among them, the Old Snake Turtle spoke in an ancient and vicissitudinous voice, “It doesn’t seem like a Spirit Beast. It feels more like a beast from the Demon Clan. If not, it’s likely a Puppet Beast from the Human Clan.”
“That’s not right, a Human Clan’s Puppet Beast wouldn’t be so responsive and quick.”
“Hmm”
After pondering for a while, the Old Snake Turtle continued, “There is a rumored spell in the Human Clan known as Puppetry Technique. It involves carving out a part of one’s soul and infusing it into a puppet, transforming it into one’s avatar. This avatar can then roam freely and fight.”
“Perhaps, this spell hasn’t been lost.”
The White-eyed Soul Tiger, referred to as Black Tiger, muttered, “It’s been so long, yet this is the first time we have encountered such an interesting situation.”
Seeing the three of them not on edge, the Sky Thunder Rat was impatient, “It’s a human! Shouldn’t we find him quickly? Once he leaks information about this place, things will go south!”
“Ha.”
The Old Snake Turtle leisurely said, “The Great Moon Palace of the Human Clan itself inherited some of the legacy of the Ancient Lunar Covenant. Hence, it’s highly possible that they are the ones who created this power.”
“If they wanted to come in, they would have done so long ago.”
“This place was examined by the Yin Moon Tiger Clan years ago, but they could never enter.”
“Just like you, little electric rat, despite your original Rock Rat’s talent for tunneling, you’ve never been able to enter in all these years.”
“As for the eight-armed mantis, even if it’s a puppet avatar and you manage to find and destroy it, it wouldn’t affect the Human Clan.”
“So, go and lie back down.”
“Even if the information about this place is leaked, no one would dare to break in. This place is the core area of the Great Moon Ridge, the domain of the Yin Moon Tiger Clan.”
“Stop worrying for nothing.”
“Mmm.” The Black Mountain Bull grunted in agreement and turned around to leave. Meanwhile, the White-eyed Soul Tiger said nothing, its figure vanished in an instant.
